"Yao Qing, please go down and rest first. I will discuss this with my subordinates before I give you an answer. You also know that

My life is not easy for me. Once I make a wrong decision, I will die without a burial place. Everyone must be considerate."

Yuan Shaodao.

Asking Yuan Shao to provide money and people, and also to give a large amount of money, Yuan Shao will definitely not do it.

"Benchu, we are all members of the same family, and Guangdao is your brother. I hope Benchu ​​will seriously consider it."

Yuan Huan said.

Um!

Yuan Huan walked out of the tent.

"Everyone, the power of Xiakou Qinqi is growing very rapidly. We must consider how to limit its development.

This is not for Yuan Gongli's sake, but for ours. Once Qin Qi takes over Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, it will bring great pressure to us."

Yuan Shaodao.

"My lord, this matter is difficult to handle and very dangerous. It might break your body into pieces. If you want to restrict Qin Qi's development,

It is nothing more than planning events in the local area to distract Qin Qi's energy. The second is to instigate people around Qin Qi to rebel.

Letting those people rebel one after another, or even letting them deliberately handle certain incidents wrongly, will cause chaos in the Xiakou area for a period of time.

However, these things cannot be brought to the table and need to be operated secretly, let alone let people know that we did it."

Xu Youdao.

"Gongze, it seems that many of the people around Qin Qi are from Yingchuan and should be very familiar with you.

Many of them are even classmates. If you are on a mission to Xiakou City, secretly communicate with those people and instigate rebellion if you can.

We can't leave a thorn in Qin Qi's heart, alienate them, and don't let them do their best."

Yuan Shaodao.

"Lord, this matter is not easy to handle! I communicated with many people in Yingchuan during my last humble duty.

They quite recognized Qin Qi. It would be difficult to instigate rebellion. After all, the Xiakou area is now very powerful.

It’s not easy to operate. It won’t be a big problem if you add a little chaos, and there is still a glimmer of hope for Qin Qi to distance herself from them.”

Guo Tudao.

"Gongze, you need to go to Xiakou and communicate with that guy Qin Qi to see if you can get a cheaper price.

Let’s purchase more this time. Also, while we’re in Xiakou, try to create some chaos for that kid Qin Qi so that he can’t develop well.”

Yuan Shaodao.

Guo Tu felt miserable!

I really don’t want to go back to Xiakou City. My former classmates and friends in Yingchuan have all become arrogant and look down on others.

Not to mention purchasing weapons, Qin Qi made it clear that he wanted to kill Yuan Shao ruthlessly.

Five times more expensive than the weapons sold to other princes.

Whether you like it or not, you will be put down if you don’t.

What can Guo Tu say?

I was completely led by the nose, not to mention the price reduction, thank God for keeping the original price.

"My lord, it's hard to negotiate the price of weapons. Last time that guy Qin Qi said that because of the chaos in the world,

If the raw materials for smelting steel go up, the price may go up again when we go to purchase them again.”

Guo Tudao.

Damn it!

Let’s talk clearly about the ugly things first. Don’t say that I’m not doing my job well when the time comes. If others gossip, I’ll just take the job!

"Gongzhi, you can rest assured that you are doing your job! Go negotiate boldly and don't have any worries. No matter what price is negotiated, I will not complain to you."

Yuan Shaodao.

"As you command!"

Guo Tudao.

"My lord, there is another trading method for purchasing weapons produced in Xiakou, which was proposed by Qin Qi last time.

Let us trade with the people within our jurisdiction. Ten adults, men and women, will trade for one sword, and fifty people, including elderly people and children, will trade for one sword.

The trading location can be placed at a place with a dock. It feels very cost-effective. My lord, please consider this trading method."

Guo Tudao.

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up!

In the eyes of Yuan Shao and other members of the big family, the common people are worthless and can be used for arbitrary transactions. They do not regard the common people as human beings at all.

"Lord, this is a good idea. There are many people in our area who are unable to eat. We can exchange them with Qin Qi in exchange for a large number of weapons."

Xu Youdao.

"My lord, that's not right! When the people trade everything, who will grow the food? What will we eat and drink in the future?"

Tian Fengdao.

"Yuan Hao, you are making too much fuss. What we are talking about is exchanging those people who have nothing to eat and are hungry.

Letting Qin Qi resettle her will waste the few food resources Qin Qi has, which will not only weaken her strength, but also cause some chaos to Qin Qi, so why not?"

Xu Youdao.

Tian Feng wanted to argue, but felt that someone was pulling at the corner of his clothes. When he saw it was Ju Shou, he told him not to say more and looked at Yuan Shao's face.

At this time, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and the universe could explode at any time.

"My lord, Qin Qi also has another way of trading. He can exchange the people under the lord's account for five thousand war knives."

oh!

Hahaha!

"Who does that kid Qin Qi like? He exchanged five thousand swords for one person, which is worth five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Yuan Shaodao.

"Jushou and Tian Feng will also send their families to the dock and hand them over to Master Xiakou."

Guo Tudao.

Yuan Shao was slightly startled!

Originally I thought Qin Qi would propose Xu You, Xun Chen, Feng Ji and others, but I didn't expect it would be these two. Yuan Shao didn't have a good attitude towards them.

After all, the two of them were former ministers of Han Fu.

In addition, the two of them often caused trouble for him, did not know how to flatter him, and always embarrassed him. Yuan Shao felt a little moved in his heart.

Ju Shou and Tian Feng were devastated to discover that they seemed to be abandoned by Yuan Shao.

Tangled!

The two of them were worth a million taels of silver. It was such a bargain. They could exchange it for ten thousand swords. Yuan Shao was hesitant.

Actually?

Qin Qi brought it up in the first place just to drive a wedge between Yuan Shao, Ju Shou, and Tian Feng so that they would not be reused.

I never thought that Yuan Shao would give up on the two of them. After all, Yuan Shao was not a fool, and he knew the abilities of the two of them, but he just didn't know how to flatter them.

The more Yuan Shao hesitated, the more he gave in to Ju Shou, which made Tian and Feng feel cold in their hearts.

A gap has arisen.

Qin Qi's goal has been achieved.

Why did Yuan Shao's eight great counselors insist on driving a wedge between Ju Shou and Tian Feng? It was because they often embarrassed Yuan Shao.

Unlike Xun Chen and Xu You, they would not easily say what Yuan Shao didn't like to hear, but would only say what Yuan Shao was willing to hear.

Especially Xun Chen, after he offered his advice to capture Jizhou, he basically didn't offer much advice and was just an idler.

Of course, Xun Chen was Xun Yu's younger brother, and the two often wrote letters to exchange some issues.

Xun Yu was favored by Qin Qi in Xiakou, and Xun Chen did not have to worry about his own life. No matter how powerful Xiakou was, Xun Chen would still have a place.

There's no way, big families are just like that, they don't put their eggs in one basket, they have to be stored separately.

No matter who wins the world, someone in the family will be reused, and the family inheritance can be passed down completely.

"Yuan Hao, Ju Shou, you two, don't get entangled. You two are my advisors. Why would you exchange weapons?

This is simply impossible. Not to mention only exchanging five thousand war knives, even if it is ten thousand war knives, I will not agree."

Yuan Shao said loudly.

Tian Feng and Jushou were not fooled by Yuan Shao's lies. Yuan Shao's reaction just now said everything. Yuan Shao was moved.

The two of them did not want to be serious with Yuan Shao, so they had no choice but to thank Yuan Shao. However, they were already extremely disappointed with Yuan Shao.

The two of them regretted deeply why Qin Qi refused to agree to the imperial conquest and insisted on applying to serve under Han Fu.

I regret it so much!
